Zhang Yan was cultivating in the cave when he suddenly felt his heart throbbing. He couldn't help but put on a listening expression. After a while, he smiled and called Jing You over, saying, "Go and pass the order. If that Daoist Priestess from last time comes, there is no need to block her at the door. Shua! "
Jing You obeyed the order and retreated. After a while, he came back into the cave to report, "That Daoist Priestess Wei has indeed come. She has been led to the main hall by this lowly one."
Zhang Yan asked, "Did she say anything?"
Jing You thought for a while and said, "Not really. It's just that the last time she came, this Daoist Priestess was bossy and arrogant. She looked like she was unexcelled in the world, but now her expression is stiff and cold. She is silent and inarticulate, as if she is a different person."
Zhang Yan suddenly understood and said, "Order someone to send some good tea."
Jing You probed, "Master does not want to see her?"
Zhang Yan smiled, "I have to see her, but there is no need to be impatient."
Jing You immediately understood and understood that this was Zhang Yan giving this Daoist Priestess the cold shoulder. He chuckled and bowed, saying, "This lowly one understands."
Daoist Priestess Wei waited in the hall for a while but still did not see Zhang Yan. She couldn't help but feel anxious. If Zhang Yan had said that he did not want to see her, it would have been straightforward. But he had invited her in and yet she did not come. She did not know whether to leave or stay.
After waiting for a while, she really could not sit still and went to the door. She kissed a disciple on duty and asked, "When is your sect head coming?"
The disciple on duty politely replied, "Daoist priest need not be impatient. Just Now, Sect Head has something to say. He will be here in a moment."
Daoist Nun Wei gloomily went back to sit down. After a while, she still didn't make any movements. Clenching her teeth, she went back to that disciple and said, "Go and report that I have something that your Sect Leader desires. Invite him here because I have an urgent matter. I really cannot delay. "
The disciple said, "Alright, I'll pass the message on behalf of Daozhang."
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Daoist Priestess Wei suspected that Zhang Yan would not come. At this moment, she heard a loud and clear laugh from outside. A Daoist wearing a black robe with an extraordinary bearing entered the hall. He cupped his hands towards her and said, "Daoist Priest Wei, thank you for waiting so long. Last time we parted in a hurry and I didn't know you would return. What advice do you have for me? "
This time Taoist Nun Wei was under the low eaves so she had no choice but to lower her head. Her body stiffly returned the greeting and said, "This time I came because a group of fellow Daoists were besieged when we were traveling to the sea. I hope that you can lend us a hand. "
Zhang Yan went to the main seat and sat down. He said, "Fellow Daoist, tell me slowly. What is going on?"
Afraid that Zhang Yan wouldn't agree, Daoist Priestess Wei didn't dare to tell him her original purpose of coming here. She only said that she went with the others to look for the Immortal Legacy of the predecessors, but she was cast by a demon cultivator and was trapped on the sea. She was the only one who escaped, so she came here to ask for help.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and didn't expose her. He said, "To be able to cast a trapping technique, it must be the doing of a giant demon on the sea. It must have been done by the giant demons on the sea. How could I have such abilities? "
Taoist Nun Wei said anxiously, "I heard that Daoist Zhang's Dao techniques and divine arts are all brilliant. You and I can join hands to restrain this demon from the outside. There's no need to make a move and we'll be able to save our fellow Daoists. "
Zhang Yan muttered to himself for a moment and then nodded, "Since that's the case. I'll follow Fellow Daoist on this trip. "
Taoist Nun Wei was stunned when she heard this. Her eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "Daoist Zhang is … willing to go?"
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Isn't this why Daoist Zhang came here? Saving people is like putting out a fire. Let's go to the sea and do our best. Let's set off now."
Taoist Nun Wei originally thought that Zhang Yan would refuse in every possible way. At the very least, he would use this matter to ruthlessly demand some benefits. She was already mentally prepared, but she didn't expect that he didn't even mention it. Things went smoothly beyond her imagination. She never liked to owe people favors, so she bit her lip and said, "Since I've asked Fellow Daoist to help, I definitely won't let Fellow Daoist come back empty-handed."
Zhang Yan didn't seem to mind and only said, "Saving people is more important. We can talk about this matter later."
Taoist Nun Wei took a deep breath and nodded heavily. She stood up and said, "Then let's set off."
Zhang Yan stretched out his hand and waved, "Wait. To be on the safe side, we should call another Daoist for this trip."
Taoist Nun Wei hesitated for a moment and said with difficulty, "When I came here, I borrowed the strength of a top-notch horse and rushed here in a quarter of an hour. It's fine for two people to ride on the same horse, but it can't carry three people."
However, Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It's not a problem. I and that Fellow Daoist are both experts in the art of escaping. Although it might not be as good as Taoist Nun Wei's horse, it's still much faster than borrowing the Imperial Heavenly Strong Wind."
Taoist Nun Wei was skeptical, but since Zhang Yan said so, she could only choose to believe him.
Zhang Yan informed the disciple on duty and the latter immediately left to carry out the order. Not long after, Zhang Boyan came into the hall and cupped his hands, saying, "Manor Head, is there something you need me to do?"
Zhang Yan didn't waste any time and said concisely, "There's a Daoist who's trapped on the sea. Follow me to the sea for a while."
Zhang Boyan didn't ask any more questions and nodded in agreement.
Taoist Nun Wei saw that although he looked ferocious, his cultivation was also close to the second layer of Yuanying. She couldn't help but feel slightly relieved. After all, one more person meant one more assurance.
Zhang Yan walked out of the hall with the two of them. When he walked out of the door, he saw Song Chuyuan and the lame Taoist standing at the side. He couldn't help but look over and asked, "Fellow Daoists, is there something you need?"
Song Chuyuan stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I didn't pass on an order and came here in private. I hope Sect Master will forgive me. Just now, we saw Fellow Daoist Zhang being urgently summoned by the Manor Head, so the two of us discussed it. Perhaps it's something in the sect, so we also came to see if there's anything we need to do."
After he finished speaking, his gaze shifted and he looked at Taoist Nun Wei.
Zhang Yan said, "I already understand the intentions of the two Daoists. This matter can be handled by me and Zhang Zhang. When I'm not here, the two of you must keep a close eye on the sect."
The two of them hurriedly said, "We will abide by your orders."
Taoist Nun Wei was secretly shocked. Although she had invited more than ten Yuanying cultivators in one go, it was only because of the Xiao Cang Realm. Many of them were friends with her Shixiong when he went out to travel. These people came from all over Dongsheng. If they weren't elders in the sect, they were masters of a region. If she didn't take the lead, they wouldn't have gathered here. However, there were already four Yuanying cultivators in this remote area of the Shenwu Mountain. Compared to the people of the Xiao Cang Realm, they weren't inferior.
After the three of them left the mountain gate, Taoist Nun Wei leaped onto Bu Qi's horse. She pulled the reins and soared into the sky.
She looked behind her and saw Zhang Yan had already ridden a ray of sword light and tore through the sky towards her, whereas, Zhang Boyan had transformed into a strand of surging yellow smoke that shot soundlessly into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, he was already on par with her. Looking at the way he was flying, he seemed to be faster than the horse. She couldn't help but be surprised.
The three of them immediately escaped at an extraordinary speed. After a while, they arrived at the sea. Looking over, the sun was covered by haze and the sky was covered by thick fog. Everything was white. They could only hear the sound of the waves crashing against the shore.
Taoist Nun Wei's face revealed a worried expression. When she came out, she was only concerned about the north and didn't notice anything. But looking at the scene before her, it was impossible to find the opponent. If she wasn't careful, she could fall into the enemy's trap again. It wasn't good to rush in recklessly.
Just as she was hesitating, Zhang Yan said, "It's hard to find an opponent. If we go in like this, we'll definitely fall into their trap. I have a lightning spell. It can dispel this spell. "
Taoist Nun Wei didn't dare to look down on him now. She hurriedly said, "That's good. Sect Head Zhang, please cast the spell."
Zhang Yan stretched out his hand and took out a spell. The three clouds above shook and a purple gas rushed to the top of the clouds.
At this moment, in the depths of the sea, the silver glow that was protecting everyone was becoming thinner. Taoist Nun Wei went and returned. It hadn't even been two hours, but Old Xinglao and the others felt tormented.
Those with bad tempers couldn't take it anymore. They said they wanted to rush out a few times. Some even suspected that Taoist Nun Wei might as well abandon them and not return. Luckily, Old Xinglao had a good reputation. He managed to persuade those who were stupid to stop a few times. But his forehead was covered in sweat. He thought that if he didn't see anyone come to save him later, he could only take the risk.
Just as he couldn't take it anymore, he heard a loud explosion outside. Thunder rumbled endlessly. The sea water under their feet shook. After a while, the thick smoke actually showed signs of dissipating.
Ceng Conglun reacted the fastest. He shouted excitedly, "It must be Taoist Wei who found help. Fellow Daoists, follow me to charge out."
At this moment, everyone noticed that the fog showed signs of dissipating. The invisible opponent seemed to have the intention to retreat. They also knew that there was help outside. Instantly, their courage rose. They each took out their talismans and rode their flying lights. They followed behind Ceng Conglun and rushed out together.
At first, there were bolts of lightning coming from the surroundings. But they weren't fierce. When they hit the talismans that protected them, they didn't seem to have much power. Everyone became even more excited. At this time, they gradually saw a sliver of light in front of them. Seeing that there was hope to escape, they couldn't help but shout and speed up their flying lights. After traveling for a short distance, they felt their bodies lighten. Looking around, they were already outside. Seeing that they got out so easily, someone said in disbelief, "They got out just like that?"
Ceng Conglun took a few breaths and said, "Maybe that person saw that things couldn't be done, so he retreated."
Everyone nodded. This was the only explanation. However, even if it was a third grade Yuanying cultivator, he wouldn't be able to do well under the attacks from both inside and outside. Both sides weren't mortal enemies. If he didn't have the confidence to win, it was reasonable for him to retreat.
Elder Xing didn't have time to rejoice. He first looked around and saw three flying lights coming from afar. The person riding on one of them was obviously Daoist Nun Wei. He hurriedly went forward and saluted, "Taoist Wei is indeed a trustworthy person. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid we would be in trouble."
Daoist Nun Wei leaned to the side and made space. She pointed behind her and said, "This is Sect Master Zhang of Deep Abyss Sect. This time, it's all thanks to Sect Master Zhang's help. Just Now, it's also because of Sect Master Zhang's technique that we can break through the fog. Otherwise, it would really be difficult to find you."
Elder Xing turned to look at Zhang Yan. He bowed and solemnly said, "Sect Master Zhang, we've never met before, but you were willing to rush over to save us. This old man thanks you here."
Zhang Yan stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Taoist Friend, you're too polite. We're of the same path, so it's only natural."
At this moment, everyone also came forward to express their thanks. This time, they originally came with the intention of pressuring Deep Abyss Sect. They didn't expect to be saved by this person, so they felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.
Daoist Nun Wei hesitated for a moment. She took out a jade box from her sachet and handed it to Zhang Yan. "Sect Master Zhang, I heard that you're looking for spiritual medicine. I happen to have quite a few here. This time, many of our fellow Daoists were saved by Sect Master Zhang. I can't thank you enough, so I'll give this to you."
Zhang Yan didn't stand on ceremony. He smiled faintly and put the box away. He said, "Then I'll thank you, Taoist Friend."
Daoist Nun Wei saw that he didn't seem to take it seriously. She thought that he disliked her for giving too little and was afraid that she would be looked down upon. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Sect Master Zhang, this isn't enough to repay you for saving us from danger. It's just that it's inconvenient today. I'll repay you in the future."
